Key maintenance and security are paramount within a cloud environment due to the widespread use of encryption for both data and transmissions.
Which of the following key-management systems would provide the most robust control over and ownership of the key-management processes for the cloud customer?

A. Remote key management service

B. Local key management service

C. Client key management service

D. Internal key management service








 

Suggested Answer: A

Community Answer: D

A remote key management system resides away from the cloud environment and is owned and controlled by the cloud customer. With the use of a remote service, the cloud customer can avoid being locked into a proprietary system from the cloud provider, but also must ensure that service is compatible with the services offered by the cloud provider. A local key management system resides on the actual servers using the keys, which does not provide optimal security or control over them. Both the terms internal key management service and client key management service are provided as distractors.
